RUGBY ace James Haskell insists he’ll be able to handle missing his daily sex sessions with his wife Chloe Madeley.
The former England international’s wife, who is daughter of legendary TV presenting duo Richard and Judy, has boasted the pair have sex every night, a statistic James failed to dismiss while speaking to The Sun.
Asked how he’ll cope without intimacy, James – who tied the knot with fitness guru Chloe last December – said: “I think I’ll be able to stay calm.
“When you’re on 700 calories and everything smells of smoke, I’ll be fine. I’ll just throw myself in the creek.”
James, capped 77 times by his country and a former captain of club side Wasps, has been involved in top-class rugby since his teens and has taken part in many of the game’s famed initiations.
But he refuses to reveal if he’s experienced anything worse than eating kangeroo anus, which could be on the menu for the infamous Bushtucker trials.
He explains: “I’ve had some pretty terrible things in my mouth but a kangaroo’s anus?
“What’s the worst? I couldn’t possibly tell you that. Wait until my autobiography or pay me 100 grand, then I’ll start talking.”
The 34-year-old is expected to be the life and soul of the camp with his big personality and humour, which has seen him being labelled the Bantersaurus Rex of rugby.
But he insists he won’t just be adding laughs and giggles – he can do deep and meaningful as well.

James added: “I don’t walk around taking the p**s every five minutes.
“If I met someone for the first time I’m not going to start attacking them for their dress sense and things like that.
“I’m just not like that. I would actually have a normal conversation, ‘how are you, what do you do?’. There’s a lot more to it than trying to get a cheap laugh every five minutes.”
